The presence of a small amount of gelatin on the surface of the iron particles facilitates this process. The X ray photoelectron measurements indicated that the gelatin interacted with the surface of the iron particles by means of both nitrogen(in —NH 2 groups) and oxygen(in —COOH groups) and then bound to the silica. The silica coating increases the resistance of the iron particles to oxidation on heating in air, which makes the temperature at which an observable oxidization occurs from 330 ℃ to 400 ℃ raised.展开更多

The main objective of the workshop was to bring together China and UK scientists from mathematics, bioinformatics and plant molecular biology communities to exchange ideas, enhance awareness of each others＇ fields, explore synergisms and make recommendations on fruitful future directions in crop science. Here we describe the contributions to the workshop, and examine some conceptual issues that lie at the foundations and future of crop systems biology.展开更多
